This is in response to a couple questions I got this weekend pertaining to the "system" to the east of us. It's not so much a system, moreso than weather associated with a stationary front. Basically it's not moving per se, but tending to sit there...because "stationary" front.

The part underlined and in bold is more relevant to our location. I'll consult with a meteorologist tomorrow.

THE ATLANTIC OCEAN...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO POURS OVER INTO THE WEST ATLC SUPPORTING A 1023 MB HIGH NEAR 30N77W...WHICH IS PROVIDING MOSTLY FAIR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE WEST ATLC. HOWEVER...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL LOW NEAR 25N76W SUPPORTS A SURFACE TROUGH THAT EXTENDS INTO THE RIDGE ALONG 30N64W 29N68W 30N73W. THE UPPER TROUGH IS EMBEDDED WITH DRY AIR...SO NO SHOWER ACTIVITY IS NOTED NEAR THE SURFACE TROUGH. ACROSS THE CENTRAL ATLC...A DEEP LAYERED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DOMINATES PROVIDING SEVERAL ENERGY SURGES ACROSS THE AREA. FARTHEST EAST...A STATIONARY FRONT ENTERS THE AREA NEAR 32N32W AND CONTINUES ALONG 24N38W 16N50W. SCATTERED SHOWERS/POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS ARE WITHIN 200 NM WEST OF THE AXIS NORTH OF 25W. A SECOND SURGE IS BRING ISOLATED SHOWERS NORTH OF 28N BETWEEN 44W-54W. GALE FORCE WINDS ARE ALSO NOTED IN THE AREA NORTH OF 29N BETWEEN 50W-55W. THE REMAINDER OF THE BASIN IS COVERED BY SURFACE RIDGING EXTENDING FROM A 1033 MB HIGH WELL NORTH OF THE DISCUSSION AREA NEAR 46N20W. THE RIDGE IS SUPPORTED BY AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ALONG 24W.

Referencing the features described in the ATWD above, with the surface alanysis on pg1 of this thread so u have an idea where they are in relation to us.

Yeah, it's SUPPOSED to be moving back a little more south by now though, but you see what the stationary front is doing to it.

From since Friday the L.L.E.W.M. (Low Level Easterly Wind Maximum... pronounced "loom") has been weakening so clouds will have less chance of shearing off before they get to the mid-levels, which means a higher possibility of build-ups.

If that trough south-east of us moves, we might get some showers and MAYBE a couple thundershowers on Wednesday, but I don't think it'll be super terrible given it's a 1012mb isobar, so it's not super low.

The official word on that should be in the 4-Day Weather Outlook that should be issued later today.
